About Dominguez Channel

Dominguez Channel cuts through California, United States and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Dominguez Channel — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.
